Residential Life

Home at Raven Nation. A Place to Belong. A Home to Succeed.

Living on campus at Franklin Pierce University offers the best of both worlds—a close-knit, supportive community set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Monadnock in the heart of New England. Here, you’ll experience the charm of a small town with the energy of a diverse and dynamic campus, where every conversation, late-night study session, and shared moment helps shape your journey.

Our Residential Life team is dedicated to fostering a home where you feel seen, heard, and valued. We believe in the power of community care, encouraging students to look out for one another and contribute to a positive, inclusive environment. Through leadership opportunities, mentorship, and personal accountability, you’ll gain the skills to grow independently while being part of something bigger than yourself.

More than just a place to live, your residence hall is where lifelong friendships are built; advocacy and self-discovery are encouraged, and success is supported. This is your home, your foundation, and your opportunity to become the best version of yourself.

You are welcome here. We support you here. You belong here.

Student Housing

To better enhance each student's residential experience, all class levels are housed separately. This delineation is meant to promote community development within the same class standing to better meet the academic and social needs of each group. Besides living amongst peers, Residential Life and Student Activities provide community events to bridge classroom learning to residential living. This enables students to establish meaningful relationships with their peers while engaging in large or small group activities.
